I was a good kid. Never did drugs. Graduated with the lowest GPA in the history of a very large HS. Failed out of my 1st 3 attempts at college. I gave in to peer pressure at 21 and smoked a tiny bit of pot. I found I could stay focused on the study material, found it INTERESTING ! in 1 course got the only A+ in a school that had an A as the highest grade possible. Got me thru graduate school with top honors. Of course it can be abused! but without it I’d be selling time-shares instead of having a rich, productive professional life.
